Tried Windows 11 yet?

Who has upgraded to Windows 11?

  • I did and love it as my daily driver

  • I did and love it (for light/HTPC use)

  • I did and rolled back within 10 days

  • I did and wish I hadn't, now I'm stuck with it

  • I haven't yet, I'm still thinking about it

  • I'm not going to

  • I did without TPM 2 - no issues yet

So I need to do a refresh of my PC it's been 2 years and things like HWinfo not opening up are starting to bug me.

Should I be thinking about W11, or is it just a Vista grade OS and I should stick to W10 until the next iteration comes out?

Has anyone had compatibility or other issues with 11 and what were they?

Been on Win11 now for more than a month with an Amd Ryzen Zen 3 build and I've had zero issues. Performance is good and everything works well.

I'm running it on my daily driver and on a VM within my daily driver for dev work. Zero issues, not even a little bit.
I ran a number of game and synthetic benchmarks before & after and performance is all within margin of error.
 
The only thing I did was use the registry edit to put the old context menu (right click) back. Otherwise i've been using it for about 2 months now and it's perfectly fine.
 
Tried it briefly during the week but rolled back within 2 hours as there were too many changes that annoyed me. I would rather investigate and research a bit more before trying it out as my daily driver.

For those on Win10, you just install Win11 and it will pick up and activate based on your Win10 license.

But can one then do a fresh install of W10 later (after 10 days of installing 11) with that same license or what happens if you try?
 
Using it at work and home since the release day. No issues to report.
Gaming performance seems to be better as well.

I rolled back to my updated image (Acronis) and Windows remained activated.

Did a clean/fresh install of Win11 (said no key) and it automatically activated.
 
Nah... I'll be the last to upgrade - too lazy to bother and not looking forward wasting time on teething issues.
 
Been running it since the dev beta and it's excellent. A few minor issues here and there bit quickly patched by microsoft.

I hammer my pc quite hard with production work and win11 has run flawlessly.
 
been using it for a while, I dont like the start menu, task bar only pops up on my one monitor with mouse over, old right click menu on taskbar is gone, still need to google to see if you can change these things.
 
I've bought my brother a new notebook for Xmas on Wednesday that came loaded with it.
He couldn't live with the Start menu and especially the combined taskbar buttons/apps/programs. He REALLY doesn't like change.
Installed StartAllBack and it seems to have sorted most of his issues. It's $5, but a small price to pay to keep him happy.
 
Aaaah, the Classic Shell déjà vu.
We get a new thing, then we pay money to make it look like the old thing ;)
 
cannot seem to hide the task bar with startallback
*found it (not in the app) in windows - settings - appearance - taskbar

Thanks. Is it worth it? Is it stable?

It's stable and I haven't run into any issues so far.
For me it's worth it, especially gaming wise. There's a definite improvement in gaming performance. I have a really old PC, so I would know.

Whether it's worth it for you? I can't answer that :p Try it, if you don't want to use it, revert to Windows 10 within 10 days.
